About this episode

With streaming heavyweights Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and Apple making big moves into sports what does it mean for a fragmented European market? As part of last week's SportsPro Live StreamTime host Nick Meacham is joined by SportsPro technology editor Steve McCaskill and Lydia Fairfax founder of Triple Crown Consulting to discuss on stage for a live podcast recording.
Talking points:
